Abstract:Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been widely applied in quantum information and deep-space exploration owing to their high detection efficiency, low dark count rate, and wide spectral response. In particular, the heat transfer in SNSPDs largely affects their performance parameters (e.g., quantum efficiency, count rates and recovery time), which can be modulated to optimize the performance and develop novel devices. Considering the potential of SNSPDs and the significance of heat t… Show more
